Ixamyakxim: On the bright side, if I DO pick it up and it IS a buggy mess I might be able to regale this thread with some CarrionCrow-esque moments of gaming frustration that can only come from those games that are both oh so bad and oh so good all at once. ;)

EndreWhiteMane: Buy it! :-)
LOL I know those moments are priceless!

All my posts would turn into "It f@#$ing crashed again!" *lkaj;dfkljal;kjg;alkgheo* as my head bangs on the keyboard after ALT-Tabbing to the thread.

Followed afterward by "F$#Ling ALT-TAB is busted too?!?!?!?!"

ddickinson: Well I had better get some sleep as I have a long drive in the morning.

Goodnight, everyone! I hope you all have a good day and sleep well when you decide to call it a night.

Night DD.

CarrionCrow: It's pretty funny that virtually no one is mentioning the weekend sale.

Have those games hit a certain degree of saturation?

ddickinson: I have most of the games that appeal to me from the weekend promo. I like the idea of the sniper game, but from what I have read it's not for me, especially as it has randomly re-spawning enemies. Other than that the only game I am considering is the Chronicles of Riddick game, but I'm not too sure yet. Even if I decide to get it, I will probably just add it to my wishlist for when my backlog is in a better state.

How about you? Any game from the promo catch your eye? (nevermind, I see you answered it above).
There are three items on sale now that are on my list.

Blood 2 and the two KKND games.

Screw it, think I'll pick them up momentarily. =)

Have a good night, sleep well when you get there, and hopefully the person you have to meet will forget to take their raging bitch pills for the day. ;)

Good night, have a safe drive tomorrow.

Ixamyakxim: In a vacuum, I'd probably snatch I-War 2 up in a second (I came close last time it was on sale, and that was before my shiny new flightstick...).

But I've been hmmmmming and hawwwwwwing on Caribbean. On the one hand, the previous buggy unfinished pirate game I played was also one of my favorites of all time. Plus, by biting the bullet I might be helping others (and myself!) eventually get to play an awesome fully featured game. Or worst case I might get a shot at playing the game before it's pulled (some of the "this is really an alpha / beta like build" has me nervous this could happen!).

On the other hand (and I know I feel a bit cheap for saying this!) I'm not thrilled by the idea of dropping the cash for an unfinished game I hadn't heard of before I saw it here a day ago LOL! The only reason I'd even consider it is because the concept of the game is just so in my wheelhouse (har har).

On the bright side, if I DO pick it up and it IS a buggy mess I might be able to regale this thread with some CarrionCrow-esque moments of gaming frustration that can only come from those games that are both oh so bad and oh so good all at once. ;)
No need to feel cheap about it. That's called making a good financial decision.

If they can't get their act together, it's on them.

Funnily enough? My two biggest forms of frustration come from games that are brain-breakingly hard -flips off Meat Boy- and games that don't manage the "but oh so good" part of being gods-frigging-awful. =)

Ixamyakxim: *edit*

CarrionCrow: might go with Paradox instead, might skip all of it and hold onto money for March.
avatar
Ixamyakxim: Paradox is also causing me to pause on purchases. While it isn't here (yet?!) Fallen Enchantress is one of my top "would love to play it but won't" games, due to DRM. If it ends up here you can bet I'd grab it in a heartbeat!
I'm thinking Europa Universalis, Majesty 1, Crusader Kings and Victoria to start. I could replace a rental with actual ownership and get an entry point into the company's overall style of games.

That's even more awesome. I knew you dug the super hard over the top difficult games (that damn goat comes to mind!) but I love that you elevate the art form. No struggling with a game that hints at some goodness when there's the agonizing joy of that purely terrible game lacking all redeeming qualities.

I would totally watch you do Mystery Science Theatre of Video Games. But only if you promise to rate badness on a scale of broken keyboards or punched monitors (and credit me with said rating scale of course! ;) ).

Oh and hey you two - I haven't checked in in a while! Are you still kicking around in Tres Leches? I became far far far too lost and confused when everyone started role claiming their insane abilities. I thought my head was going to pop when X was following Y was following Z only to be maybe blocked by 1 who was jailed by 2 who... I can't wait to see how it all pans out in the end! Must remember to harass Flub into giving a massive recap / editorial!

I was lynched a couple of days ago - that's real-time days, it's still the same night in the game. DD is still alive.

You think more highly of my approach than I do.

I just look at it as being masochistic and stubbornly determined to not let things I've paid money for sit unused, even if they're absolute garbage. ;)

Thank you for the compliments, though. =)

Calling it a night too, see you later, folks.

Yay for the download that never ends.

Pretty sure that the audiobook company's internet setup consists of duct tape, bent coat hangers, chewed bubble gum and a hamster with wires jammed in its brain running on a wheel.

Good morning. =)

Doing okay here, aside from my wrist telling me it's time to take a break from mouse clicking.

Hopefully you're doing well also.

I am doing ok, I got a good sleep and woke up seeing that the snow (it snowed a lot yesterday) is starting to melt. Which is good since that will reduce my troubles going to work tomorrow :D
And yeah if your wrist is telling you to stop you should find something else to do. I did not have that problem for a while now since I started reading more again so my wrist is getting a lot of break ;-)
